Application filed April 30,

My invention relates to boudoir caps and the particular object of my invention is to produce a cap which is so designed that it will when being placed on the head readily 5 conform itself to the shape of the head so that it will lie all around snug against the back and the sides of the head and at the same time cling to the forehead and thus will be held practically immovable in position. A

cap so designed will easily retain in shape, without discomfort to the wearer, any kind of coiifure or arrangement of the hair. The cap is preferably made of net work material or open mesh fabric so that it will be 5 light and airy and not make the head warm.

For a better understanding of my invention, I refer to the appended drawing in which I have shown an embodiment of my invention, by way of illustration and in 0 which Fig. l is a side view of the unfinished cap, Fig. 2 a similar View showing the overlapping edges produced by the cuts in the two sides of the cap whileFig. 3 shows the finished cap in position on the head of the wearer.

The cap is made from two pieces of a suitable fabric, preferably light but strong network fabric, which, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 are sector-shaped and are united along their curved edges at 1. In both pieces is made a cut as shown at 2 in Fig. 1, said cuts extending from one of the straight edges inwardly in a substantially stralght line toward the curvature 1 and for substantially half the distance thereto. The edges pro duced by said out are drawn toward each other so that they will overlap as shown at 3 in Fig. 2, and in this position, the over- 1926. Serial No. 105,642.-

lapping edges are united by a piece of tape or ribbon as shownat 4 in Fig. 8.

By the drawing together of the out edges as shown in Fig. 2, the curve at 5 is increased, or in other words, its radius is reduced, and thus results the peculiar shape of the cap as shown in Fig. 3 which pro duces the snug fit more especially along the top of the head and the clinging of the cap to the forehead so that the cap will remain in position even when worn during the night, thus keeping the hair from becoming .50 disarranged.

The two pieces of fabric are preferably also bound with tape or ribbon along their outer straight edges and along their curved edges to impart to the cap a more substantial and at the same time ornamental appearance.

Ribbons 6 of silk or other material and of suitable width are attached to the pieces at 7 to enable the cap to be tied under the chin as shown in Fig. 3.

I claim:

A boudoir cap comprising two substantiallysector-shaped pieces of suitable material connected along their curved edges, each piece having a cut extending from one of its straight edges in a straight line substantially half the distance toward the curved edge forming two opposing edges, and a means drawing together and connecting said opposing edges in overlapping position thereby increasing the curvature of the cap at the ends of the curved edges.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

JOHN STIERLI.
